Does contracting count as freelancing? Serious question. Or do you mean freelances as only in gigster/upwork sense?

As a contractor I am technically working via my one man company but mostly work in a company office alongside other employees, so not sure if you count that as freelancing.

Contracting is a synonym of freelancing. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Are you in the US? I think you should be an employee instead.
I'm in UK. You should be an employee if you work in a single company for 2+ years. Contractors often only work in 6-12 month contracts so you are not definitely an employee if you only come to work on a project for 6 months and then go work somewhere else.
