The first thing to understand is that Psychology is very, very heterogenous.
However, most of it can conveniently be classified as a social science (e.g. Social Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Personality Psychology, etc.).
Some parts of it are definitely a natural science, such as cognitive psychology or cognitive neuroscience.
This is reflected by the fact that some schools put psych into their social science division, others into biological sciences, depending on emphasis.
Also, keep in mind that psych came a long way in the past 35 years. Of course it has a long way to go, but many methods are definitely those of natural science.
But of course you know that, having a degree in it. If you focused on the cognitive parts, yes. If not, probably not. Also, what kind of job is it. Since most psych undergrads have to have methods and stats classes, I would say: "Go for it"

Psychology is a behaviourial/social science.
It is science which studies human behaviour and human mentality.
Yes there is a nature science but not yet globally excepted,Its Nature therapy which teaches how nature in various ways is a remedy to cure human diseases in form of benefitting with the nature aid and the five important elements on this planets.
And one has to study nature therapy theorywise and pratically to qualify this degree as to pursue further as a careers as a professional.

Psychology is a social science darling. A natural science would be the likes of biology, chemistry and physics.

Psychology is a behavioral/social science. It is not a natural science. Do not let any of those psychobabbelists try to tell you differently.
