Sort and summarise between patterns

I have a text file which I would like to sort, summarise and count between the pattern "--Current Database"



This is my text file:



-- Current Database: `city`
New York
Chicago
Las Vegas
San Francisco
-- Current Database: `country`
United States
Mexico
Portugal
Mexico
Mexico
Norway
-- Current Database: `name`
Kevin Hart
Caroline
Max
Kevin Hart
-- Current Database: `phone`
669874223
236897556
478896542
669874223
-- Current Database: `addres`
menk st
guitar st 15


And I would like the output to be like that



-- Current Database: `city`
1 Chicago
1 Las Vegas
1 New York
1 San Francisco
-- Current Database: `country`
3 Mexico
1 Norway
1 Portual
1 United States
-- Current Database: `name`
1 Caroline
2 Kevin Hart
1 Max
-- Current Database: `phone`
1 236897556
1 478896542
2 669874223
-- Current Database: `addres`
1 guitar st 15
1 menk st


I know that cat file.txt | sort | uniq -c would sort, summarise and count all lines but I dont know how to do it between patterns



Could somebody help me?



Thanks
