It's a different question whether consciousness arises from a physical phenomenon vs whether consciousness is identical to the physical phenomenon. For example, a particle produces a number of fields and all its interactions can be described in terms of these fields, but this does not mean that the concept of a particle is identical to the fields. A particle is a concept in its own right. By the way I would consider the fact that a particle produces these fields to be a supernatural phenomenon.

And if you say that a particle is a mental construct for modelling the interactions of fields, this may be the case. And this may be the case for psychology too. But it is not the case for consciousness, because consciousness is just something you experience, it does not model anything.
