Hi, the clicking noise you hear is the selenoid in the starter motor not engaging the drive to start the engine all you need to do is replace you starter motor and then you should find you will have no problems starting your car.
Another trick you could try just to get it started is give the starter motor a few hits with a hammer hit it quite hard but not hard enough to break it doing this will usually get it started but dont rely on this being a permanent fix as it could leave you stranded.
Also if you have a manual gear box you could get someone to help you push the car whilst its in gear with the clutch to the floor 2nd gear is best for this then once the car is rolling let the clutch up whilst the ignition is on this should then fire up the engine if it dont try the key as this will sometimes get the starter working again for a short while.
Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

make sure the battery terminals are clean and no corrosion. check your battery voltage with a volt meter if the voltage is under 12.5 volts dc there isn't enough voltage to start. Look for loose connections (a loose connection will get hot when there is current running through) monitor the voltage when you attempt to start the motor if the voltage drops under 12.5 volts dc the battery needs to be charged or has a bad cell(bad battery) you will need to get a jump start or charge the battery and try to start it again.
if the battery voltage is where it needs to be 12.5 to 13.5 volts dc you will need to replace the starter.
