Start Problem When I try and start the car a ticking sound is heard and various lights light up. But the car does not even attempt to start.

that ticking noise means the relay is working so you should hit the starter with some heavy metal pipe, tool or anything a couple of hits should work then try to start it if the car start or make a different sound you will need to replace the starter

Turn key on but do not attempt to start. Wait 10 minutes. Turn off. Then on. Make sure security light goes off before trying to start. Sounds like security system thinks vehicle is being stolen

I think you might have a timing belt that might be braking if it doesn't start your timing belt jump good luck

Better get a mechanic to check it out before you drive it very much.
Could be a lifter or piston pin with no oil.

fuel pump?

Check your battery terminals , are they clean and tight ? Next try to jump start your car. It may be that you have a bad battery.

Sounds like you lost the serpentine belt, which runs the alternator. When you heard the ticking sound, did you notice if the battery light came on, Check the belt and fully charge the battery. Do not jump a dead battery. Wear safety glasses when servicing a battery, an explosion and acid hazard exist

Low battery or bad solenoid.

Your immobilizer is enabled. Try locking/unlocking the doors with the remote five (5) times, this should remedy.

Just had this same problem, starter was ticking but not turning, would start with jump leads but no sign of a flat or faulty battery. Garage I took it to replaced starter and alternater got £270 charge then when I got it back it happened again the next day!
Since found out that it was simply a dodgy connection between the battery and the starter.
